I often wonder how these men will treat someone who’s unavailable to them romantically and sexually and if they’d still treat that person the same. And I loved this, because often in romance novels, I get the shady feeling that the love interest is only respectful towards the main character because he’s attracted to her and wants to get in her pants. I absolutely loved seeing the way this was handled.īecause Rosaline spends quite a large part of the book involved with Alain the snobbish dickhead, she and Harry spend most of the book building a genuine friendship. Because he’s working class and people tend to really look down on him. Not just because he’s such a cinnamon roll, but also because here we have the kind of person who normally isn’t seen as the romance hero.
I could write a fucking essay on how much I love Harry and why.
I needn’t have worried though, because enter Harry. He was bland and boring and a pretentious asshole, and I was really apprehensive to see where the book was going to lead. When I started this book, I did immediately click with the main character, the setting, the humour… But we were introduced to a love interest whom I really didn’t like from the start. I don’t really know how to review this book without including spoilers, so look away now if you don’t want to know more! Cover image of Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake Yet as the competition-and the ovens-heat up, Rosaline starts to realize the most delicious bakes come from the heart. Rosaline fears falling for Harry is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. Suave, well-educated, and parent-approved Alain Pope knows all the right moves to sweep her off her feet, but it’s shy electrician Harry Dobson who makes Rosaline question her long-held beliefs-about herself, her family, and her desires. However, more than collapsing trifles stand between Rosaline and sweet, sweet victory. Winning the prize money would give her daughter the life she deserves-and Rosaline is determined to stick to the instructions. and Rosaline has just landed a spot on the nation’s most beloved baking show. Now, with a paycheck as useful as greaseproof paper and a house crumbling faster than biscuits in tea, she’s teetering on the edge of financial disaster. Rosaline Palmer has always lived by those rules-well, except for when she dropped out of college to raise her daughter, Amelie. For day 2 of # PrideLibrary21, the prompt is “pink books”, and since Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake is a pink book, I decided to share my review of it today!
